[eluser]ivelin[/eluser]
hi guys.... how to show

Code:

form_error('field name', '<div class="error">', '</div>')

for every forms in .tpl file???

HP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'SmartyCompilerException' with message 'Syntax Error in template "application/views/admin/reviewers/reviewer.tpl" on line 60 "{$form_error('firstname', '<div class="error">', '</div>')}" - Unexpected "(", expected one of: "}" ,

Code:

$this->tpl->smarty->assign('errors',validation_errors());

Then you can just call the errors using $errors in your tpl file.

a how use form_error in .tpl

This is not recommended but you can just embed php code inside a smarty template file using {php} {/php} "tags"

Although I have not attempted to implement Smarty with CodeIgnitor and have no way of testing this, you may want to try,

Code:

{ldelim}
{$form_error(‘firstname’, ‘<div class="error">’, ‘</div>’)}
{rdelim}

or maybe

Code:

{literal}
{$form_error(‘firstname’, ‘<div class="error">’, ‘</div>’)}
{/literal}

not sure if it will work, but worth a shot?

It's not going to work because form_error is a function. You need to pass the value to a variable first, then can call that variable within smarty.
